# aifree.dev > Curated, regularly verified directory of free AI offers: free tools, > API credits, free tiers, and startup / student programs for coding, > image, audio and video. Every offer is tested by a human before > listing, stamped with a verification date, and re-checked monthly. > Dead deals are removed, not hidden.
